and
B=left\xge0:sqrtx(sqrtx-4)-3|sqrtx-2|+6=0right\.$B=\left\{x\ge0:\sqrt{x}(\sqrt{x}-4)-3|\sqrt{x}-2|+6=0\right\}.$
Then n(Acup B)$n(A\cup B)$ is equal to:
A.4$4$
B.2$2$
C.8$8$
D.6$6$
Solution & Explanation
### Related Formula
Logarithmic addition property: log(a) + log(b) = log(ab)$\log(a) + \log(b) = \log(ab)$.
Double \angle sine formula: 2sin x cos x = sin 2x$2\sin x \cos x = \sin 2x$.
### Step 1: Simplify Set A
Combine the logarithmic elements:
log_(2/pi) left(|sin x| cdot |cos x|right) = 2$\log_{(2/\pi)} \left(|\sin x| \cdot |\cos x|\right) = 2$|sin x cos x| = left(frac2piright)^2 = frac4pi^2$|\sin x \cos x| = \left(\frac{2}{\pi}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{\pi^2}$|2sin x cos x| = frac8pi^2 Rightarrow |sin 2x| = frac8pi^2$|2\sin x \cos x| = \frac{8}{\pi^2} \Rightarrow |\sin 2x| = \frac{8}{\pi^2}$
Since pi^2 approx 9.87$\pi^2 \approx 9.87$, frac8pi^2 approx 0.81$\frac{8}{\pi^2} \approx 0.81$, which is less than 1. Plotting |sin 2x| = frac8pi^2$|\sin 2x| = \frac{8}{\pi^2}$ over the specified range x in (0, pi)$x \in (0, \pi)$ yields exactly 4 real intersection points[cite: 3314, 3906].

Hence, n(A) = 4$n(A) = 4$.
### Step 2: Simplify Set B
Let sqrtx = t$\sqrt{x} = t$ where t ge 0$t \ge 0$. The equation becomes[cite: 3316, 3910]:
t(t-4) - 3|t-2| + 6 = 0$t(t-4) - 3|t-2| + 6 = 0$
**Case I:** If t < 2$t < 2$ :
t^2 - 4t - 3(-(t-2)) + 6 = 0 Rightarrow t^2 - 4t + 3t - 6 + 6 = 0 Rightarrow t^2 - t = 0$t^2 - 4t - 3(-(t-2)) + 6 = 0 \Rightarrow t^2 - 4t + 3t - 6 + 6 = 0 \Rightarrow t^2 - t = 0$t = 0, 1 Rightarrow x = 0, 1$t = 0, 1 \Rightarrow x = 0, 1$ [cite: 3912, 3913]
**Case II:** If t > 2$t > 2$ :
t^2 - 4t - 3(t-2) + 6 = 0 Rightarrow t^2 - 4t - 3t + 6 + 6 = 0 Rightarrow t^2 - 7t + 12 = 0$t^2 - 4t - 3(t-2) + 6 = 0 \Rightarrow t^2 - 4t - 3t + 6 + 6 = 0 \Rightarrow t^2 - 7t + 12 = 0$ [cite: 3915, 3916]
(t-3)(t-4) = 0 Rightarrow t = 3, 4 Rightarrow x = 9, 16$(t-3)(t-4) = 0 \Rightarrow t = 3, 4 \Rightarrow x = 9, 16$ [cite: 3917, 3918]
Hence, set B = \0, 1, 9, 16\$B = \{0, 1, 9, 16\}$, giving n(B) = 4$n(B) = 4$.
### Step 3: Calculate Union
Since all elements of set A are non-integral angles in (0, pi)$(0, \pi)$ and elements of set B are pure integers, the sets are completely disjoint (A cap B = emptyset$A \cap B = \emptyset$).
n(A cup B) = n(A) + n(B) = 4 + 4 = 8$n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) = 4 + 4 = 8$
### Pattern Recognition
Always separate functions into disjoint numeric domains (e.g., angles vs. whole integers) to conclude unions without performing tedious tracking of individual values manually.

### Core Logic
Rearrange terms to group equations into known standard graphing profiles [cite: 1321]:
3tan x = pi - 2x implies tan x = fracpi3 - frac2x3$3\tan x = \pi - 2x \implies \tan x = \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{2x}{3}$ [cite: 1321]
Plot the linear equation line y = fracpi3 - frac2x3$y = \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{2x}{3}$ along with multiple period tracks of the trigonometric function y = tan x$y = \tan x$ within the interval [-2pi, 2pi]$[-2\pi, 2\pi]$[cite: 613, 1321].
### Step 1: Point analysis across branches
The line has a negative slope and passes through (0, pi/3)$(0, \pi/3)$ and (3pi/2, 0)$(3\pi/2, 0)$. Looking across distinct interval chunks separated by asymptotes[cite: 613]:
1. Branch 1 left(-2pi, -frac3pi2right)$\left(-2\pi, -\frac{3\pi}{2}\right)$: 1 intersection
2. Branch 2 left(-frac3pi2, -fracpi2right)$\left(-\frac{3\pi}{2}, -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$: 1 intersection
3. Branch 3 left(-fracpi2, fracpi2right)$\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$: 1 intersection near origin
4. Branch 4 left(fracpi2, frac3pi2right)$\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}\right)$: 1 intersection
5. Branch 5 left(frac3pi2, 2piright)$\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}, 2\pi\right)$: 1 intersection
Counting all distinct points across valid domains gives 5 solutions total[cite: 1337].
### Pattern Recognition

fracsinbetasin A sin B = cot B - cot A$\frac{\sin\beta}{\sin A \sin B} = \cot B - \cot A$
where beta = A - B$\beta = A - B$.
### Core Logic
Let theta_r = fracpi4 + rfracpi6$\theta_r = \frac{\pi}{4} + r\frac{\pi}{6}$. Then the difference between consecutive angles is:
theta_r - theta_r-1 = fracpi6$\theta_r - \theta_{r-1} = \frac{\pi}{6}$
Multiply and divide the general term of the summation by sinleft(fracpi6right)$\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$:
frac1sintheta_r-1sintheta_r = frac1sin(pi/6) cdot fracsin(theta_r - theta_r-1)sintheta_r-1sintheta_r$\frac{1}{\sin\theta_{r-1}\sin\theta_r} = \frac{1}{\sin(\pi/6)} \cdot \frac{\sin(\theta_r - \theta_{r-1})}{\sin\theta_{r-1}\sin\theta_r}$= 2 left[ cottheta_r-1 - cottheta_r right]$= 2 \left[ \cot\theta_{r-1} - \cot\theta_r \right]$
### Step 1: Expand the Telescopic Sum
sum_r=1^10 2 left( cottheta_r-1 - cottheta_r right) = 2 left[ cottheta_0 - cottheta_10 right]$\sum_{r=1}^{10} 2 \left( \cot\theta_{r-1} - \cot\theta_r \right) = 2 \left[ \cot\theta_0 - \cot\theta_{10} \right]$
Where:
theta_0 = fracpi4 implies cottheta_0 = cotleft(fracpi4right) = 1$\theta_0 = \frac{\pi}{4} \implies \cot\theta_0 = \cot\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1$theta_10 = fracpi4 + 10left(fracpi6right) = fracpi4 + frac5pi3 = frac23pi12$\theta_{10} = \frac{\pi}{4} + 10\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{5\pi}{3} = \frac{23\pi}{12}$
Now compute cotleft(frac23pi12
ight) = cotleft(2pi - fracpi12right) = -cotleft(fracpi12
ight)$\cot\left(\frac{23\pi}{12}
ight) = \cot\left(2\pi - \frac{\pi}{12}\right) = -\cot\left(\frac{\pi}{12}
ight)$:
cotleft(fracpi12right) = cot(15^circ) = 2 + sqrt3 implies cottheta_10 = -(2 + sqrt3)$\cot\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right) = \cot(15^\circ) = 2 + \sqrt{3} \implies \cot\theta_{10} = -(2 + \sqrt{3})$
### Step 2: Solve for a and b
textSum = 2 left[ 1 - (-(2 + sqrt3)) right] = 2 [1 + 2 + sqrt3] = 2(3 + sqrt3) = 6 + 2sqrt3$\text{Sum} = 2 \left[ 1 - (-(2 + \sqrt{3})) \right] = 2 [1 + 2 + \sqrt{3}] = 2(3 + \sqrt{3}) = 6 + 2\sqrt{3}$
Comparing with asqrt3 + b$a\sqrt{3} + b$:
a = 2, quad b = 6$a = 2, \quad b = 6$
Now calculate a^2 + b^2$a^2 + b^2$:
a^2 + b^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 36 = 40$a^2 + b^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 36 = 40$
*(Wait, let's re-verify the absolute values calculation from official solution: frac1sin(pi/6)dots = 2sqrt3-2 implies a=-2, b=2$\frac{1}{\sin(\pi/6)}\dots = 2\sqrt{3}-2 \implies a=-2, b=2$ or something similar? Let's check source 1210: 2sqrt3-2 = asqrt3+b implies a=2, b=-2$2\sqrt{3}-2 = a\sqrt{3}+b \implies a=2, b=-2$. Let's compute with those values: a^2+b^2 = 2^2 + (-2)^2 = 4 + 4 = 8$a^2+b^2 = 2^2 + (-2)^2 = 4 + 4 = 8$.)*
